Content reviewed: Jan 2026
Sec 2 Maths tuition at Ancourage Academy in Singapore (Bishan & Woodlands) offers intimate groups of up to 6 students, following Singapore's MOE syllabus. Weekly 2-hour lessons use our ESB methodology to build factorisation, expansion, and algebraic reasoning for strong upper-secondary subject choices under Full SBB. "Mathematical confidence grows when students understand the 'why' behind formulas, not just the 'how'," shares our curriculum director. Our structured approach helps students qualify for Additional Mathematics.
What Makes Us Different
Our proven teaching methodology combines evidence-based approaches for maximum learning effectiveness
Ebbinghaus Memory Theory
Planned retrieval practice at expanding intervals — weekly topic quizzes, monthly mixed reviews, and term revision cycles — timed to strengthen memory just before it weakens, so knowledge stays accessible under exam pressure.
Socratic Questioning
Probing questions that surface each student's reasoning — 'Why did you choose that method?' and 'What if the question changed this detail?' — revealing gaps in understanding early so misconceptions are corrected before they compound.
Bruner's Scaffolding
Graduated support from fully guided to fully independent — tutors first model the solution, then prompt during practice, then observe silently — systematically building competence while ensuring students do not develop reliance on hints.

Curriculum Overview
- ✓Algebra: Expansion, factorisation, simultaneous linear equations, solving linear equations and inequalities, and introduction to quadratic expressions.
- ✓Geometry and mensuration: Properties of angles, polygons, congruence and similarity, Pythagoras' theorem, and introduction to trigonometric ratios.
- ✓Statistics: Representing and interpreting data using dot diagrams, histograms, stem-and-leaf plots; measures of central tendency (mean, median, mode).
- ✓Probability: Introduction to chance, experimental and theoretical probability applications.
- ✓Number and proportion: Ratio, proportion, percentage applications, rate and speed.
- ✓Problem-solving strategies: Using models, algebraic methods, and logical reasoning for both routine and non-routine questions.
- ✓Examination readiness: Familiarity with MOE assessment formats, clear step-by-step solution presentation, and time management strategies.
What Sec 2 students commonly work on
- 1
Factorisation — identifying patterns and factorising quadratic expressions
- 2
Simultaneous equations — solving using substitution, elimination, and graphical methods
- 3
Pythagoras and trigonometry — applying theorem and understanding sine, cosine, tangent ratios
- 4
Word problems — translating real-world scenarios into equations
- 5
Upper secondary readiness — building confidence for subject choices and G-level progression
Learning Progression
Builds On
Sec 1 Mathematics with algebra foundations, geometry basics, rate and speed, and equation solving
Prepares For
Upper Secondary Mathematics with advanced quadratic equations, extended trigonometry, and more complex proofs
Key Transition
Expansion and factorisation define Sec 2 algebra — fluency in these reciprocal operations becomes indispensable for tackling upper secondary mathematics.
“Attending this tuition centre has been a game-changer for my studies. Teacher Min explains concepts in a way that's easy to understand. Her positive attitude makes learning maths enjoyable.”

Frequently Asked Questions
Sec 2 Maths performance determines whether students qualify for Additional Mathematics in upper secondary. Strong results open pathways to A-Maths and eventually H2 Mathematics in JC—crucial for STEM-related courses.
Factorisation and expansion are critical—they form the foundation for all upper secondary algebra. Quadratic expressions, geometry proofs, and problem-solving strategies also require solid mastery before progressing.
We teach systematic approaches to translate word problems into mathematical equations. Students learn to identify key information, set up algebraic models, and verify solutions—skills that transfer across all mathematics topics.
Our small-group classes are intentionally kept between 3 and 6 students so every learner receives close guidance, timely feedback, and ample practice.
Each lesson is 2 hours, providing ample time for thorough coverage of topics and interactive learning.
Yes. All lesson materials and worksheets are provided and included in the fees. Students should bring regular stationery and, where applicable, school textbooks/workbooks for reference.
Yes. Our materials and pacing align with the MOE syllabus. External syllabuses (e.g. IGCSE, IB) are available upon request.
